Are you an NGO with security concerns?
How do we keep our staff safe? What do we do if the worst happens? Open Briefing can assist all NGOs – large and small – with security risk management. We can undertake a risk assessment and help you implement cost-effective security risk mitigation measures that range from hostile environment awareness training (HEAT) to medical and crisis response travel insurance.
Open Briefing now offers medical and crisis response travel insurance for high-risk destinations
Humanitarian aid workers, journalists and others travelling to high-risk destinations and hostile environments often find it difficult and expensive to obtain suitable travel insurance. Open Briefing is pleased to announce that it now offers specialist medical and crisis response travel insurance. This specialist plan automatically includes cover for war and terrorism and covers every country in the world – even those countries with travel advisories in effect.
